Abstract
We previously reported a spontaneous development of type 2 diabetes–like phenotypes in glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1)-overexpressing (OE) mice. Diet restriction of these mice rescued all their phenotypes, except for hyperinsulinemia and hypersecretion of insulin. This study was to determine whether dietary Se deficiency eliminated these two primary effects of GPX1 overproduction. Forty-seven male OE and wild-type (WT) mice were fed an Se-adequate (0.4 mg Se/kg) or deficient (p < 0.05) on mRNA or protein levels (or both) of 14 molecules involved in islet insulin synthesis and secretion and hepatic lipogenesis. Dietary Se deficiency exhibited a hypoinsulinemic trend in OE mice and a strong hypolipidemic effect (p < 0.05) in the liver of WT mice. Hepatic lipogenesis was attenuated in OE compared with WT mice. In conclusion, diet restriction might be too overwhelming to allow a demonstration of a dietary Se-depletion effect on the OE phenotypes. Full-fed animals could offer a better chance to illustrate such effects and the underlying mechanisms. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 14, 383–390.Keywords
